You can use System Backup to back up the system and boot partitions, use Disk/Partition backup to back up the data partition and add plans to run an automatic backup. If you use the computer frequently or have software that may cause boot failure of the computer, we would suggest you back up the computer every 1 to 2 days. For other situations, you can backup the computer once a week. In addition, you can schedule File Backup to back up the files which are changed frequently.
EaseUS Todo Backup can save backup images to internal disks, external disks, network drives, or free cloud(Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive) and CD/DVD.

I use a MacBook Pro in the field daily and find myself needing to spin-up some home-brewed Windows and Linux virtual machines quickly. To accomplish this, I prefer to build and maintain several VM's utilizing VMware Fusion Pro on my Mac. Granted; VMware Fusion is 'I believe' an inferior product to it's nearest competition, especially when it comes to connecting to and uploading VM's directly to multiple VMware vSphere server environments. It does have a major shortfall I recently ran into: there is no ability to easily convert VMware VMDK files into Hyper-V VHD's.
Typically, I find myself doing most of my conversions directly from physical hosts (P2V) or from Hyper-V host to VMware ESXi hosts. We do however have a few clients that use Hyper-V in their environments and luckily, Microsoft does have a utility for easily converting VMware virtual guest OS directly from your vSphere environment, or in my situation, from a VMware Fusion VMDK file to a Hyper-V VHD file.
- First you will need to download and install Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter 3.0 from Microsoft's website.
- Next, open an elevated PowerShell prompt and run these command (changing the paths to match your source VMDK file and destination path of your new VHD file):
- Import-Module ‘C:Program FilesMicrosoft Virtual Machine ConverterMvmcCmdlet.psd1'
- ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath 'C:Ubuntu-disk1.vmdk' -DestinationLiteralPath 'C:Ubuntu-disk1.vhd' -VhdType FixedHardDisk -VhdFormat Vhd
Then head over to your Hyper-V host and create a new virtual machine. When you get to the step 'Connect Virtual Hard Disk' choose 'Use an existing virtual hard disk' radio button and browse for the VHD file you just created.
Lastly fire-up your new Hyper-V virtual machine and hopefully all is good. I hope you found this information helpful and thank you for reading!
